Could you please stop posting flamebait (including nationalistic flamebait, which you've been doing repeatedly) and/or unsubstantive comments? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. Once accounts go too far down this road, we end up having to ban them.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and adjusting so your comments are within those lines, we'd appreciate it.

  • I'd also appreciate if you'd add the capability to delete our accounts/past comments, that would be swell. It would also be in the spirit of EU law, while we're talking about "nationalistic" stuff, that is.

    Later edit: What do you find "nationalistic" about interviews and sources like this one [1]?

    > In France’s former African colonies, imperialist monetary policies from Paris continue to cripple domestic economies and undermine democracy. Colonialism in Africa won’t have meaningfully come to an end until true economic sovereignty is allowed to flourish.

    At least own up to it, and openly say that you guys do not like the anti-China/anti-Russia discourse to be challenged, I'm ok with that, it's your website after all, but at least be honest about it.

      That's not the case at all, as anyone can confirm for themselves via HN Search. Here's a list I put together for some users who were feeling this way a few years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/chinamod, in the China case. It's out of date now but should make the point.

      But nothing you're bringing up here seems relevant to the issue of you breaking HN's rules and us needing you to stop that.
